I ran out of medium rats for my BCI, i was wondering if i could maybe feed him 2 or 3 weanlings in one sitting, or is that not healthy?

It won't hurt your snake.

Some even argue it's BETTER.... not too sure if I agree or not but that's another topic all together. :)

I'm no expert, but my male Colombian BCI gets 2 x 125ish gram rats per feed. I tried a bigger one once ( 300gr ) and Big Boy ate it, but comparing his behaviours, he "seemed to" prefer the 2 smaller ones. Took him alot longer to digest the 1 big one, compared to the 2 smaller ones. Perhaps it was too big, I do not know. He ate it fine, no regurge, etc. But.....anyways....
IMHO 2 smaller ones is fine....
